Mozart had a pet bird, a common starling. These birds are known well for singing, they are a kind of song bird. Mozart immortalized his pet bird by copying its chirping in one of his piano concertos. 3rd Movement of Mozart Piano Concerto no. 17, K 453 has strains of the bird song. Mozart thus immortalized his pet bird. It is not unusual to make music mimicking natural sounds and Mozart surely loved his pet bird; he organized a funeral after the pet expired.
I am sharing an Youtube video. These days Youtube makes so many things possible, even 25 years ago I would have scrambled to search for such legends' recordings.
